Important announcement about YTM2020 and COVID-19
Important announcement about YTM2020 and COVID-19
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic we have made the decision to cancel this year's Young Topologists Meeting. This decision saddens us much, but we are happy to already announce that the YTM 2021 will take place in Stockholm next summer on July 12-16, with the same invited speakers. The new website can be found here.
For organizational reasons we will discard the applications received for the YTM 2020 and we ask you to send a new application when the registration opens if you want to participate to the YTM next year.

The Young Topologists Meeting (YTM) is an annual event that has previously been organised by the EPFL (Switzerland), the University of Copenhagen (Denmark); and jointly by Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). This year it will take place on July 6-10 in Stockholm. The intention of the conference is to create a setting in which young researchers in topology can meet each other and share their work. The program will consist of short talks given by the participants and three lecture series by invited speakers. This year's invited speakers are Kathryn Hess (EPFL), Thomas Nikolaus (WWU Münster) and Karen Vogtmann (Cornell University and University of Warwick).
